    Enduro Set up?

    I agree with most of what @AL_V said. The only real difference is he is bigger than me so the suspension wasn't too bouncy for me when I got it. Beyond that, in the slow gnarl the power delivery and control are just superb. And I am a smaller guy and have done almost no mods yet. It does take...

    Enduro Set up?

    @skomarmy BTW all that said this is the best enduro/trailbike I have ever owned. My last ICE bike was a 2020 KTM 300 XC-W and the Stark is not just better but it is way better.

    Enduro Set up?

    Stock tubes are not usable for enduro in my experience. They suffer with log, root, and rock crossings (hard front wheel taps for example) plus, once mud and water invaded they were shot --they are plastic. I got like 5 rides out of them in mud season in New England. They might hold up better...

    There were some issues with the parts pages at Stark Future. They seem to be addressed now.

    Thread Dedicated to Keeping Track of Firmware Versions

    It would be good if Stark had a page with official firmware revisions with release notes that listed features, fixes, and known issues. They are probably still trying to figure out how they want to provide it and potentially charge for special revisions.

    Varg production numbers / VIN

    The Pirelli Scorpion tires are actually much better than I expected and might be worth a run through for many riders --I don't do moto so take it for what it is worth. I replaced the tubes after about 5 rides as they just couldn't take the kind of riding I do (mostly gnarly slow enduro/trail...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    Interesting idea.Very cool. This is pretty typical for Euro made metal work in my experience. Euro metal work and machining has long been a complaint with KTM and other Euro made stuff like Bosch, Siemens, and BMW and etc. I am glad Stark is addressing it and it seems pretty quickly. Too often...

    Varg - Gear Oil Change

    The machining on that plug is not good as well and the aluminum is really soft. That combined with different metal crush washer(copper), plus heat/cool cycle, plus what you have found increase the chances for failure. I have had to chisel more than one out already. I reached out to Stark...

    Problems with Charging

    Yes glad they are on it. But Stark probably wants to tighten it down on the QA especially for electrical connections. All it will take is one fire or somebody getting a good zap and the bad PR will be like a snowball. The dealer I bought my bike from went through charging my bike before I got it.

    3 issues with my Stark Varg in 1 week.

    Pretty awesome and I am glad to hear about the tremendous customer service. There are a lot of companies these days who should take lessons from these guys. That said, I am still struggling to understand why there are still couldas and wouldas in the diagnosis but I guess it doesn't matter now...

    Power station? Eco Flow or Anker SOLIX F3800

    Wow that $300 was a great deal and that you get up to 450W is incredible. That is really what the price should be for a 400 watt panel really, but our idiot politicians from both sides are taxing the hell out of solar panels through tariffs. I am really happy with my 400W EcoFlow foldable...

    do you store the bike in standby mode or completely off?

    Agreed I don't think it is significant if at all. But here in the US the liability for shared spaces is kinda messy (burning your own stuff well that is covered if you burn 3 other's garages with their stuff including their vehicles well that might be a mess) and even the slightest risk...

    3 issues with my Stark Varg in 1 week.

    I am wondering if the power on system power is separate from the drive system power (somebody on this forum probably knows :)). Maybe with a small CMOS-type battery. In computer systems these batteries can live for 10 years.

    Did you try that multiple times? Does it discharge over time? Might be a small battery somewhere for the CPU.

    3 issues with my Stark Varg in 1 week.

    Don't know where you are in CT @rayivers but I can't say enough good things about Motorbikes Plus in Portsmouth New Hampshire. They pretty much sell only dirtbikes and Adventure bikes. I bought my KTMs from them and recently bought my Stark from them. Excellent experience all the way around. I...

    3 issues with my Stark Varg in 1 week.

    Well maybe but if the ECU is bad or intermittent in an ICE bike or the injector sensors are flakey or their are electrical issues then troubleshooting old school bikes grows in order of magnitude in troubleshooting too. I agree with you though Stark should be able to log into to your bike and...

    3 issues with my Stark Varg in 1 week.

    Spot on. They don't even seem to be able to get the codes themselves for what it is worth. Shipped a whole new battery and didn't solve the problem. I would get fired for something like that when the bosses got the RCA at my job at least.

    3 issues with my Stark Varg in 1 week.

    Hear you man that sucks. Have you tried replacing the power button assembly itself? The behavior sounds similar to the behavior I saw when the button(s)/switch went bad. I replaced the whole thing it's like 60 bucks from Stark. I actually bought 2 cuz I am not losing a weekend again for that...

    Power lights

    You might see a violet or yellow light led from time to time. That means there is a firmware update available. Likely you will go to 12 seconds after that update. I am not sure if Stark publishes release notes, it would be good if they did, so users could know if a firmware update causes...
